I found this book to be truly enchanting. It is a rare blend of mystery, romance and humor-which is rare in books these days.It is well-written, with strong character development and good chemistry between the players.When I finished it, I was eager to find the next book in the series.I haven't enjoyed a book this much in years.

Having retired from public serviced I find the story line of the “Millie Series” to be entertaining and quiet well written. I have known and dealt with some of the “personalities” in the book. I had a hard time putting the book down once I picked it up. Kudos to the author, he brough the characters to life.
